One of the upsides to this is that it makes pushing major changes a lot harder, sure, updates can be created but it shouldn't be simple to change things. Human behaviour is obviously a key part of the networks defence mechanism.

I think one thing that'll make the conversation harder is people will hear one or two good arguments then repeat those, without having to consider everything themselves. We see this with people parroting Saylor, for instance. Then sides become entrenched. Good luck to devs who want to push through significant changes over the next few years.
